Thewayitis's Waterfall
You can reword it as a definition, I just didn't take the time to redefine another man's words.
Religion: "Any absolutist attitude is always a religious attitude, and in whatever respect a man becomes absolute, there you see his religion." Carl Jung.
"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
Albert Einstein
A view that we have not met God and therefore don't really know him, would be a more reasonable approach. No religion knows the true God. All religions maybe talking about the same god, but may have the details about god wrong. Religions are formed by man trying to identify what and who God is.
I don't see in any way that there is a conflict, because a hospital, charity, etc, that bears a religious name or has ties to a religion is not a church. These places or organizations are supposed to be for the benefit of society as a whole and not strictly for the pushing of ideas on others. If a hospital, organization only wants to aid its members and not society, this would be a different story. These places are open to the public, not just its' members.
They didn't order any religion to preach the use of birth control, churches are exempt. If Catholics don't like helping those outside their religion, then their hospitals should be deemed as private hospitals and not except money from any type of insurance that doesn't fit their religion.
Room for thought, does the Catholic church feed only the hungry that doesn't steal, kill, commit adultery, etc.
"People that live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones."
Ever notice how fragile most atheists egos are, yet they think nothing about preying on those that have religion.
Pick on an atheist and they cry. The religious don't shed a tear, even when stoned and thrown in lions' dens. Cruel words are nothing new. Being persecuted, nothing new. What evil lays in one's heart, that makes hatred so strong?
Yes, by definition they are. All religions including those of atheist/agnostic origin are cults.
Cult: 5a) great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad Merriam-Webster
If one is in college does that mean he/she can boost of being educated. Attend one quarter/semester and your educated. Why go? The same can be applied to people that claim to be Catholic and yet never attend.
To be Catholic, one must be baptized, take conformation, and be a member of a congregation.
catholic: Dictionary.com
1. broad or wide-ranging in tastes, interests, or the like; having sympathies with all; broad-minded; liberal.
2. universal in extent; involving all; of interest to all.
3. pertaining to the whole Christian body or church.
Catholic with capital c only pretains to the requirements listed above.
Just for the record I'm unable to unban him. Only did it to hear him cry. Mission accomplished.
First off this was a phone poll. Secondly people often claim to be something they are not, like atheists being smart (Just making a point). Often people claim to be Catholic, etc. merely on the grounds their parents were and so they were listed as Catholic even though they may never attend church. In conclusion, this is only misinformation and not factual.
Did you take into account all those that claim to be religious because it looks better at parole hearings? Just because someone says they are religious, doesn't make it so. Remember atheists also claim atheism isn't a religion, but continue to preach.
Funny that as soon as you post an argument they are up-voted. Do you up-vote yourself by use of other accounts often or just when your convinced you don't have a valid argument?
You claim everything is true that you say and when called on it, you only have excuses. Nothing new.
logical fallacy,
critical thinking,
pseudo-problem of logic,
a matter of proper authorities,
logical coherency,
uses incorrect authorities,
debating has rules,
equivocation,
logical errors,
anecdotal,
sophistry
And now the excuse, too literal. I hope you don't plan on taking a polygraph test in the near future.
Provide proof that an atheist would never do these things. Atheist don't knock on doors? What do they do? Are there no atheist in prison? Have an atheist ever killed anyone? Are there no atheist pilots in the world?
To say never is beyond logic and a little critical thinking would show otherwise.
Knock, knock.
Whose there?
Another evangelistic atheist spreading the word.
What word? There mind is as blank as their pamphlet.
If this was the case, then calling you lier would be all I need to do. I do not need any other proof according to what you just stated. Why not just say somebody is wrong and leave it that? Proof is not not required for all the excuses you come up with and yet you demand proof from opposing arguments. One can conclude you have no evidence only excuses. Do the words two faced and hypocrite, ring a bell?
Bohemian, All you do is say lier. Where is the proof of such? If you must subscribe to a website that has a word for the day, learn to use it. Provide proof that any of the words you search endlessly for, have merit.
All you do is cry fallacy and say nothing else.
Really??? It is a good thing we have Wild E. Coyote (Super Genius) to reinstate the obvious. What we do without such quick wit?
It is too a converse error. I am conversing with you and that is an error; converse error.
If x=y, then y=x. Try disputing this with a mathematician. A converse error doesn't exist in math or math would have no purpose.
An example of a converse error is; Man evolved over thousands of years, so evolution must be the origin of man.
X=A but A doesn't equal X. Where did you go to school ?
If it looks like a skunk, smells like a skunk, it must be a skunk.
“Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant” ~ Edgar Allan Poe
